Equality
The Equality Act 2010 has created the ‘Public Sector Equality Duty’ which states that every public body, including schools and academies, have a legal duty to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between people who share and do not share the following protected characteristics:
- sex
- race
- disability
- religion or belief
- sexual orientation
- gender reassignment
- pregnancy or maternity
As part of our duties we publish:
- our school’s Equality Objectives – these are reviewed annually and updated at least once every 4 years
- an Equalities Statement profile of our school based upon the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010 – this is updated and published every year
